Professional Training

We provide independent and client focussed training and consultancy to teams and/or team managers where there are concerns about working in the field of sexual abuse.

Consultancy can include input on organisational policy, risk management, team welfare and training needs. It can run alongside training and seminars, increasing organisations’ skills and confidence.

Everything we do is tailored specifically to you as an organisation.

Most recently we have worked with organisations, community groups and charities on:

Working effectively with people convicted of a sexual offence

Emotional resilience

Signs and Symptoms of sexual abuse

Workplace risk assessments

Developing a risk management plan

Evidence shows that if people at risk of causing sexual harm are engaging with agencies and undertaking meaningful activity they are less likely to offend. Let us help you feel positive and safe working with this complex client group.

GREAT NEWS

Due to a recent grant from the Lloyds TSB transform fund we may be able to offer you training and support for FREE.

Our aim is to empower organisations to safely allow people convicted of sexual offences to access their current services.

Please Contact Us if you think that your organisation could benefit from our support.
